Julefest
in the Danish Villages
"Jul" Love It!
November 26, 27, 28, 2010
The Danish Villages of Elk Horn and
Kimballton, Iowa begin their Christmas celebration with
Julefest 2010 on November 26, 27, & 28. The
important elements of a Danish Christmas - good food,
warm hospitality, flickering candles and other
decorations - will all be a part of this weekend.
There are unique shops, specialty stores, winery,
museums, and craft fairs
for early holiday shopping as well as many food
establishments serving pastries, breads, candies, and
Danish open faced sandwiches and Danish specialties such
as
rullepolse. There are over 20 locations
offering exquisite one-of-a-kind gifts.
The museums and historic structures welcome visitors
with special events and decorations. Come
experience at the Danish Immigrant Museum the Danish
Julestue and the Danish Julestue Cafe for cookies, glogg
and aebleskiver that you can tourn on your own. The historic
Danish Windmill, built in 1848 and brought to Elk Horn
from Denmark piece by piece in 1976, will serve glogg
and Danish cheese to visitors and have an old
fashion Julemarket. Bedstemor's House
- Danish for Grandmother's House - will welcome visitors
with a warm fire. The parlor's Christmas tree will
be decorated with homemade paper ornaments like
Julehjerte, chains, fish and roses.
Elk Horn along with Kimballton will be decorated for Christmas and the
streets lined with Danish and American flags.
Listen for the Christmas carolers and look for Father
Christmas on Friday and the Danish Snow Princess on
Saturday. Join us for our traditional dancing and
singing around the Christmas tree. Julefest is a
great way for these proud Danes to show off their Danish
heritage to their welcomed guests and to celebrate the
opening of the Christmas season in the Danish Villages.
